These are some players i would like to see the RAIDERS get.. Conklin, Treadwell, or Eli Apple..
OK all kidding aside
Dallas needs
QB
CB/FS depending on where Jones ends up
SS
OLB
ILB
WR
TE
DT
DE
A personal guard to keep Jerry out of the War Room.
I was just gonna sayy "Dallas - throw a dart...we need whatever it hits'.
CB - I think Senquez Golson has a lot of potential, but even with him you still need a second CB to play opposite him.
DL - Cam Heyward and Stephon Tuitt had great seasons, but a 2 or 3 tech to plug the middle is a need. Depth is always important as well.
S - Mike Mitchell had a low key yet solid season a the Free Safety position. Will Allen played great at the other Safety spot, but Allen is old and an UFA this season. Getting a mainstay at that position should be a priority.
QB - The Steelers really need to invest in a new passer. Roethlisberger is getting older, and with him seemingly getting hurt every few weeks there really needs to be a more reliable option on the bench. I'd say best case scenario is 3 more years with Roethlisberger. It would make sense to try for a QB before the 5th round and groom him over the coming years.
I just did a four round mock and I was very happy with the outcome:Packers needs(in no order):
TE, DT, OT and ILB
Yeah, DB doesn't seem to make sense given our position in the draft. All the first round DB's will likely be gone. Some people would like Eli Apple, but I'm hearing mixed reviews on him.You hit the main spots.
CB...Golson is pretty much a lock for the slot job...C. Allen is likely a cut. Cockrell is another lock...cheap. I have a feeling Gay will be signed to a 2/3 yr deal. Word has it that Grant is moving to SS.
I like the several guys here that probably will be on the board late, but I'm not sold they will go CB that early. So far, no FS/SS guys are moving up the big board.

I saw an article somewhere suggesting we trade out of the 1st round and stockpile picks for later rounds. I don't know how I would feel about this, but it does seem to be a fairly deep draft.I can't say much about Apple only having seen him a couple of times...I have a good vibe about Kendall Fuller...good bloodlines at the position...injury will knock him out of the 1st round but probably not low enough for PIT 2nd rounder...one to see if Tomlin brings in for a visit.

Los Rams need:
1. QB
2. 2 WRs. Tavon Austin is a better #2 running back
3. DE. Chris Long is almost undoubtedly gone
4. LT unless Robinson turns a corner. He was the worst starter in the league last year
5. LB. Laurinaitis is done. Ogletree coming back from injury
6. TEs. Cook has the worst hands in the league. Kendricks is sub par
7. C. Barnes is good at moving but awful at the LOS
8. S. Unless they re-sign Barron or McLeod
9. DT. Not sure if Brockers and Fairley are both going to get kept.
10. CB. Rams unlikely to keep Jenkins and Johnson. Gaines might be able to step in, though.
and a new head coach

Agreed, but might shake up the order a bit. I think Long comes back at a lower cap number, but need a backup DE (might not keep both reserves). Rams likely lose one of Jenkins and Tru (hope they keep Tru), but as you said, Gaines should step in. Barnes is OK for backup C, but a starter is needed (Wisniewski via FA?). I think they keep both safeties. I think Fairley moves on for a starting role elsewhere.
QB in the first if top 3, otherwise wait until day 3 (Hogan, Brissett, Driskel, Adams). Rams might wait to see what they have in Mannion (a bit scary, should at least draft a mobile QB late as a backup plan).
WR in the first if Treadwell, otherwise use one of the two 2nds, maybe an additional pick later.
TE in the 2nd if Henry is still on the board, maybe Vannett in the 3rd?
C in the 2nd if Henry is gone (and no addition in FA), otherwise best available OT/DE/CB
Wouldn't mind a trade down or two for additional picks, as there is still a lot of needs. However, free agency will hopefully plug a few before the draft.
